Photo Album: Waterproofing a cold room in a basement in Dorval, Qc

The problem Mr. Dauphin has a cold room in his basement with concrete walls and floors. When there is heavy rain, water seeps in and the room becomes very humid. There has already been up to 1 ”of water in this room and it has been having water infiltration issues for about 6 months. Knowing that this could happen again, he contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec to remedy the situation. The solution - WaterGuard internal drain - TripleSafe sump pump system - Drainage membrane - CleanSpace coating   Our experts installed our WaterGuard interior drain system on the footing of the foundation and connected it to our TripleSafe sump pump system. This way, the water from the walls flows into the WaterGuard and is  then directed into the sump pump system in order to be expelled outside and away from the foundation. Then, in order to remove the humidity, they installed  a drainage membrane on the walls and our CleanSpace coating on top. The CleanSpace provides a barrier against water vapor and makes the room brighter. With this solution, Mr. Dauphin has a dry cold room at all times!
